I recently graduated and I’m diving into the world of editing. I’m excited about building my portfolio, but I’m struggling to find entry-level jobs that fit my style, especially in comedy. Has anyone found success in landing gigs, or have tips on showcasing comedy edits that really stand out?
You might want to try creating a short reel that highlights your comedic timing — think of it as a stand-up set but with edits… A great place to showcase this is on platforms like Instagram or TikTok where humor thrives; have you considered tapping into online communities for feedback on your edits?
I totally get the struggle of finding that first editing gig. When I was starting out, I created a few sketches with my own edits to showcase my style — it really helped me stand out. Have you thought about putting together a small comedy reel with your best cuts? @carmen_lee87 might have some tips on that too.
Creating original comedy sketches could be a great way to showcase your editing style; think of it like mixing the perfect cocktail — find the right balance of humor and timing in your edits. Have you considered sharing them on platforms like TikTok or Instagram?
